I don't think so. Firebird rewrote their entire kernel to be C++ and
in doing so, lost a lot of maturity along-the-way IMHO. Similarly
switching to another language would require a large number of people
not only familiar with Postgres internals, but also in the new
programming language; it wouldn't make sense to switch to something
like C++ and not make full use of the language.
I don't see how you think it will help. Most universities (here in
the US at least), are shying away from teaching C/C++. So, in the
long run, I don't see how that would really help us get more developer
involvement.
